Evelyn's Kitchen

The Day After. No 2.
Artist: Judy Kirpich

for anyone who has been craving EK, our cafe menu will be available Marathon Sunday! Come hang with us for our (15th Annual!) Marathon Viewing Party at Mile Marker 19.2. Jay Corbin spinning, Dolores Concepcion leading the hype squad!

I'll post food pix soon. Because we're stupid busy. But moments like these, leaving for school at 730am on 4th grade school picture day, always feel more important, more significant, more fleeting.
More of the memories and moments that I want to preserve.
But yes, we're still over here working.

Iconic.

One day I'll share the story of how I got this opportunity to be a preferred caterer at Estee Lauder Companies. But just know it has everything to do with women supporting women, women trusting women, a random phone call, a new baby, a lot of laughs, great communication, integrity, openness, collaboration, consistency and honesty.

Plus our amazing food and even more amazing team.

Forever grateful you took a chance on me

Same Girl, Same.

Next week marks 15 years since I launched Evelyns Kitchen, in my studio apartment, with no plan, no capital and no culinary background. Just vibes.

This road has been impossibly challenging. Owning and growing a small business is hard on every level. And literally the only reason I did it, I do it, and continue to push forward is that I love it.

It's my passion.

In every aspect of it, there is love.

And 15 years later, I still sometimes cannot believe I get to do this for a living.

I still cannot believe people pay me to cook for them.

I still feel blessed and grateful.

I have one of those crazy weeks coming up. My daughter starts 4th grade on Tuesday and we have back to back to back 14 hour days with events for Estee Lauder Companies, Moet Hennessy and Spring Studios.

I'll probably forget to make content celebrating our 15 years in business, and I'll have bouts of mom guilt for not being the mom around after school to make the start of school feel special. I'll be stressed and tired. I'll worry about logistics.

But today, over my early morning coffee, in my peaceful home that I bought for my daughter and me, I'm celebrating the 15 years of hard hard work put in. And celebrating this amazing business so many people have helped me build.

And I'm pretty fu***ng proud of myself.
